Camp Verde’s Centrally Located RV Parks
“Stay and play in the Verde Valley,” is the tagline of the Clear Creek RV Park. But it could also be the motto for all the RV parks in Camp Verde because they offer their guests a central location from which to explore the surrounding parks, creeks, monuments, trails and towns with their many attractions.
Camp Verde is so conveniently located that it’s easy to take day trips. Cities like Cottonwood, Sedona, Clarkdale, Jerome, Flagstaff, Payson and Prescott are just a short drive away.
However, there is no need to venture far from the RV parks. Camp Verde has plenty to see and do right in its own backyard. In addition to restaurants, gas stations, churches and shops, there is Montezuma Castle, a national monument considered to be the best preserved cliff dwelling in North America. Other attractions include Fort Verde State Historic Park, Out of Africa Wildlife Park, and Cliff Castle Casino with its four restaurants and bowling alley. Beaver Creek Golf Resort is nearby with a lovely course and reasonable green fees.
The RV parks themselves surround Camp Verde like a garland. They offer the option of staying overnight or long term, often at considerable savings; and most have full hookups, water, restrooms, showers and laundry facilities. Some offer amenities like general stores, swimming pools, cable TV hookup and WIFI.
